Michelle Farfan From: Powers & Therrien [powers_therrien@yvn.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 20041:48 PM To: Michelle Farfan Subject: Fw: Port Ludlow Resort LOG ITEM #\ ()~ f'age , of ~-?:, ----- Original Message ----- From: Powers & Therrien To: mfarfan@iefferson.wa.us Cc: Powers & Therrien Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 1:42 PM Subject: Port Ludlow Resort Dear Ms. Michelle Farfan: Jefferson County and Port Ludlow Associates (the "Developers") have provided me with a draft supplemental environmental statement ("Draft EIS") issued by Jefferson County Commissioners that provides for a proposed change in the development plan for Port Ludlow. The Draft EIS concedes that the plan is a major revision from Jefferson County Ordinance No. 08-1004-99 (the "Ordinance"), approved in 1999, that replaced a temporary development plan approved under Ordinance 10-1214-98. Such a change may be approved only by a hearing examiner (Type III) with a public hearing prior to the decision. The criteria for such an approval are set forth in Section 3.906(3) ofthe Ordinance. Response to the Draft EIS is due on May 28, 2004. I am a townhouse owner on Heron Way. I am attempting to review the proposed change. I have retained a civil engineering firm specializing in the analysis of road and infrastructure design to assist me in my review. I hope to accompany my comments to the Draft EIS with a letter setting forth the engineering firm's preliminary evaluation of the Draft EIS as well as the proposed changes. The Draft EIS does not clearly set forth or contain all of the information needed by me or my engineering firm to conduct the review. There is no clearly delineated base line from which to compare the impact of the project. The plans accompanying the Draft EIS do not show the set backs for the units that have been approved or built and those for which approval is requested. The Draft EIS also does not set forth any codes or rules that were adopted subsequent to the initial proposal of the project in 1993 that affect, for example, set backs relative either to Heron Way or the lagoon. I did not find information showing capacities of utilities and roadway design as a function of the densities initially proposed for the project. Finally, I did not find a plat plan and S, S, and Ns relative to the existing project in sufficient detail to show where improvements could be located, set backs, or the type of improvements that might be located on the project. The foregoing list is not exhaustive. Even to produce a preliminary response to the Draft EIS, I need and would appreciate a copy of the following items: 1. The actual front, side, and back setback requirements imposed by the relevant UBC for the Multi-Family Zone pursuant to Section 3.305 of the Ordinance. 2. A copy of Jefferson County Ordinance No. 10-1214-98 that was replaced by the Ordinance. 3. A copy of the actua11994 plat plan (Plat of Ludlow Bay Village) that was recorded respecting 5/24/2004 Page 2 of3 'I. . '" .~, the project which shows the total acreage and approved density ofMERU or Single Family Housing. 4. A copy of any waiver, consent, or approval applicable to the conversion of the residential townhouse lot located on the east side of the lagoon immediately north of the hotel to temporary parking and any submissions made in connection therewith. 5. A copy of any waiver, consent, or approval applicable to the conversion of the easterly portion of the next lot north of the lot described in Section 4 to parking and any submissions made in connection therewith. 6. A copy of any law, ordinance, regulation, or policy relating to the conversion of the use of any of the project from the 58 residential units (53 townhouses and 5 single family dwellings and the restaurant building to the north of the lagoon to parking and/or residential condominiums. 7. A copy of any submissions relative to closing Heron Way from the hotel and its traffic with a hammerhead and any drawings or plans that reference same. 8. A copy of any information relative to the decision of Jefferson County to approve only 58 of more than 90 residential units originally requested by the then developer for the project including any information submitted in connection therewith. 9. A copy of any study that has been commissioned or made showing the actual effect of the proposed project on the nesting bald eagles that live in the vicinity and are referenced in the Draft EIS, the avarian life that use the lagoon, and the river otters that live in the lagoon and migrate between the lagoon and the bay and Admiralty Inlet over property that will be developed under the proposed project and any remediation of the effects ofthe proposed project thereon. 10. A copy of any law, ordinance, or policy relating to the construction of residential improvements over the lagoon. 11. A copy of any submissions or studies showing vehicular and pedestrian traffic on or along Heron Way and the effect ofthe project, including the hammerhead thereon, the access of emergency vehicles thereto, the effect of loading, unloading and services thereon, and the elimination of the temporary parking now shared by the residents and the hotel. 12. A copy of the current classification of the lots described in Sections 4 and 5 for real estate tax purposes on the roles of Jefferson County. 13. A copy of the current Jefferson County Bicycle Accommodation Policy, if any. 14. A copy of the current Jefferson County Pedestrian Accommodation Policy, if any. I would appreciate your assistance in obtaining copies of the foregoing materials. I am willing to pay for any copying and transmission costs. I would appreciate a response from you by no later than May 24th so that I have time to respond to the due date of the 28th. I appreciate your assistance with this matter.
